120c is DAMAGE
115c and I would start looking for probems
110c one time, wouldnt worry about it
110c several times, flush, thermo, cap
anything under that and trust me your fine. This came from all of the
above shops here in Japan that go off of C

i got freaked out again when my friends told me water boils at like 100c or something (i dunno if they're right, im not a scientist, nor are they)
Where did you go to school such that you never learned the boiling point of water??? Go back to 6th grade dude, you've got a lot of learning to do. Ever see the movie Billy Madison?
I was going to take the time to describe how your coolant system allows it to boil at a higher temp, but I can see it would be a lost cause.
I've heard that American school systems were going downhill, but I guess I didn't realize just how fast!

ryan, i went to the same hs as hillary clinton ( says a lot huh? ), i did learn about boiling points and all that IN HIGHSCHOOL, i am not taking science anymore due to my major, and learned it a LONG time ago, so i simply forgot it. i know it is something that i should remember, but i have no need to remember it except for this. as for our school system, it is one of the best in state, and like i said i DID learn it...

Thanks Jason.
With really no other FDs around and this being the first time I cared about water temp on any car I've owned, I wasn't sure what was good and what wasn't. I do run a cold air intake(don't know if that matters). Lately I've been at 84-86 cruising 87-88 hard accel. Since you don't see 87 after warm up I won't be so paranoid anymore.

Glad to be of service..
Yeah 87 is outstanding man. I really wish I ever got that. My temps dont
really change much from Summer/Fall/Spring/Winter but the lowest I ever got
was 86, and I thought something was wrong haha I thought thats too low
for my car.....
Anyway, no worries man, your good to go...
